Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request; Generic Clearance 

for the Collection of Qualitative 

Feedback on Agency Service Delivery 

AGENCY: Agency for Healthcare Research 

and Quality (AHRQ), HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: As part of a Federal 

Government-wide effort to streamline 

the process to seek feedback from the 

public on service delivery, AHRQ [has 

submitted a Generic Information 

Collection Request (Generic ICR): 

‘‘Generic Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service 

Delivery,’’ to OMB for approval under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.). 

This proposed information collection 

was previously published in the Federal 

Register on June 4th 2014 and allowed 

60 days for public comment. No 

comments were received. The purpose 

of this notice is to allow an additional 

30 days for public comment. 

DATES: Comments on this notice must be 

received by October 22, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be submitted to: Doris Lefkowitz, 

Reports Clearance Officer, AHRQ, by 

email at doris.lefkowitz@AHRQ.hhs.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

request additional information, please 

contact: Doris Lefkowitz, AHRQ Reports 

Clearance Officer, (301) 427–1477, or by 

email at doris.lefkowitz@AHRQ.hhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Abstract: The information collection 

activity will gamer qualitative customer 

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but which is not based on statistical 

surveys that yield quantitative results 

that can be generalized to the 

population of study. This feedback will 

provide insights into customer or 

stakeholder perceptions, experiences 

and expectations, provide an early 

warning of issues with service, or focus 

attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

Agency and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

The current clearance was approved on 

July 24th, 2011 (OMB Control Number 

0935–0179) and will expire on July 31st, 

2014. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but it will not yield data 

that can be generalized to the overall 

population. This type of generic 

clearance for qualitative information 

does not apply to quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliable results, such 

as monitoring trends over time or 

documenting program performance. 

Such data uses require more rigorous

designs that address: The target 

population to which generalizations 

will be made, the sampling frame, the 

sample design (including stratification 

and clustering), the precision 

requirements or power calculations that 

justify the proposed sample size, the 

expected response rate, methods for 

assessing potential non-response bias, 

the protocols for data collection, and 

any testing procedures that were or will 

be undertaken prior fielding the study. 

Depending on the degree of influence 

the results are likely to have, such 

collections may still be eligible for 

submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

Below we provide AHRQ’s projected 

average annual estimates for the next 

three years: 

Current Actions: New collection of 

information. 

Type of Review: New Collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households, Businesses and 

Organizations, State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Average Expected Annual Number of 

activities: 10. 

Respondents: 10,900. 

Annual responses: 10,900. 

Frequency of Response: Once per 

request. 

The total number of respondents 

across all 10 activities in a given year is 

10,900. 

Average minutes per response: 19. 

Burden hours: 3,452. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

control number. 

Request for Comments 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, comments on AHRQ’s 

information collection are requested 

with regard to any of the following: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of AHRQ health care 

research and health care information 

dissemination functions, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

AHRQ’s estimate of burden (including 

hours and costs) of the proposed 

collection(s) of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(d) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information upon the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
